This year Bosh has been horrendous on D. At first, I was thinking he was putting all his energy on his offense and forgetting the D to preserve his energy. But now he's playing less minutes and still the D isn't back.

Bosh is playing "pretend style" all star game defense. Where he holds one hand up and backs off his guy unitl he scores. the guy is just mentally shook and it seems to happen every year. There were a few stretches last year where he was sucking real bad and in the playoffs he tends to wilt. It's frustrating, there's that word again, becasue it's hard for fans to understand, and if your constalntly trying to cater to that, it's so bad for the franchise. At lest Z-Bo would be consistent and if you have to move him no one would care. Over the last five games, give us two decent players in place of Bosh at our weaker positions and we'd be a much better team.

Blow it up BC. At least you've now seen what it is we have here, none of this play over your head for a stretch and fool your team into making bad decisions. your ego is not more important than the Team. No more games, if you want Andrea, do it. he's a four. If you don't trade him for a three. You can't expect things to work just becasue you want them to.

Bosh, Calderon, System (hopefully JT is working on that one).

Bosh is disappointing because we've all seen better D out of him in his rookie season and he's certainly more capable due to his athleticism. This is why it's frustrating/disappointing. Even moreso because he's the leader and it appears that most of the team takes the same stance on D. It starts with your best player.

I'm also surprised that most people here arejust noticing now, I've been saying it for the past 3 seasons.

Defense isn't only atheticism, i think
And i'm not sure about his ACTUAL athleticism
Maybe he's tired (40 MPG is very much)
But from last year he don't run on the floor, most of time he travel with very short steps
And he slap his feets on the floor in a strange way
Maybe he had some problem (pain??)

I only voted for Calderon and Joey because they stand out above the crowd. They lack the right intensity to play straight up, the intelligence to play team D and their overall ability is not too great (lateral quicks, length etc). That's never a good combination.
